To observe white-light interference, we sent the chirped pulse through the interferometer, placed a polarizer at 45 ∘ before the nonlinear crystal and directly detected the transmitted infrared ...

Today, I've decided that the measurement you all need to know about is interferometry. Why? Because interferometers are the fezzes (fezzes are cool) of the physics world. And now, a group of ...

To test their predictions, the team proposes building an astronomical interferometer—a highly ... in photon polarization based on direction of polarizer under gravitational fields, Scientific ...

At the heart of the instrument are two high-precision, tunable Fabry-Pérot interferometers (FPI ... which are additionally filtered with a polarizer. This procedure can be used, for example ...

[jrcgarry] hacked together this awesome interferometer which is able to measure displacements in the nanometer range. Commercial interferometers are used in research labs to measure tiny ...

A prototype atom interferometer chip in a vacuum chamber, harnessing the quantum behaviour of atoms to perform ultra-precise measurements of gravity. "Quantum physics and space travel are two of ...

In an interferometer, light waves travel by two different paths, directed from place to place by strategically places mirrors, and converge at a detector, where they produce a striped interference ...

Interferometers, devices that can modulate aspects of light, play the important role of modulating and switching light signals in fiber-optic communications networks and are frequently used for gas ...

Controlled magnetic gradients The atom chip used to create the magnet-based interferometer in the experiment. (Courtesy: Yair Margalit) An Israeli-led collaboration has used atom-chip technology to ...

University of Washington astronomer Matthew McQuinn will receive a grant of $175,000 to flesh out his plan for a solar-system-scale interferometer capable of determining cosmological distances ...
